Forster 408 Cheytac Full Length Sizing Die

The Forster 408 Cheytac full length sizing die is built for reloaders who demand precision and consistency with one of the largest magnum cartridges on the market. When you're working with .408 Cheytac ammunition—whether for long-range hunting, precision rifle competition, or specialized field shooting—case preparation directly affects accuracy and reliability. This full length sizing die from Forster handles the complete resizing operation, bringing fired cases back to specification so you can build rounds that chamber smoothly and perform predictably, shot after shot.

Forster dies are hand-polished steel machined to tight tolerances, then heat-treated and polished again to ensure a superior finish that resists wear and maintains accuracy over thousands of reloading cycles. The cross bolt die locking ring tightens from both ends of the split ring rather than threading directly into the die—a design that grips more securely and protects the die threads from damage. This full length sizing die comes equipped with Forster's E-Z Out Expander button, positioned higher in the neck area than conventional designs. That higher placement supports and aligns the case neck during extraction, keeping concentricity tight and reducing the risk of case runout that can degrade precision.

If you're stepping up to .408 Cheytac reloading or upgrading from budget dies to better tooling, the Forster full length sizing die rewards careful handloading with the kind of round-to-round consistency that shows up on paper and downrange. It's the kind of deliberate, well-engineered tool that serious long-range reloaders expect from Forster.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a full length sizing die and why would I need one?

A full length sizing die resizes the entire fired cartridge case—body, shoulder, and neck—back to factory dimensions. This is essential for reloading, especially with large magnum cartridges like .408 Cheytac, because fired cases expand slightly and must be brought back to specification to chamber safely and consistently in your rifle.

What makes Forster dies different from other budget reloading dies?

Forster dies are hand-polished before and after heat-treating, manufactured to tight tolerances, and feature the cross bolt locking ring that grips the die securely without threading into the die body—protecting threads and ensuring a more stable hold. The E-Z Out Expander button is also positioned higher in the neck area than most other designs, providing better support for case neck alignment and concentricity during extraction.

Is the Forster 408 Cheytac full length sizing die compatible with all reloading presses?

Forster dies follow standard reloading die dimensions and mount in any standard reloading press that accepts 7/8"-14 threaded dies. Consult your press manual or manufacturer to confirm compatibility.

What's included with this die?

The Forster full length sizing die comes ready to install in your press. It includes the E-Z Out Expander button and the cross bolt locking ring. Depending on your setup, you may also need a shellholder and powder measure, which are sold separately.
